Warbreaking Point Weekly Round-up – May 3rd – 9th
|
This week has been a slow week for me and the development of the game. There are two main reasons for this. The first has been that I have been sick during parts of the week, and therefore haven’t had as much energy to work on this as I’ve hoped. The second reasons is that things have been going slowly overall, solving issues has taken more time than I anticipated. But some progress has been done, and now it’s time to talk about what. The State Machine for the Unit The first part is a State Machine that automatically changes the internal unit type of the unit as required. And why is this needed in my game? The reason is because of how the the system I use for the grid, tiles as well as movement is built up internally; you can only have one unit of each unit type at a single tile at any given time. However; units from different units type can be on the same tile at the same time, and the type can be changed while the game is in progress. I manged to get this code to work, I just have some occasional bug left to fix and then this is done. The second part of it is a State Machine that changes a unit’s state based on the events on the board. For example, if a unit from one player is on the same tile as a unit from another player, then the two units should go into combat with each other. And this part in particular has taken more time than I anticipated. I only managed to get the very basic parts of this to work this morning. I will need to spend time during the weekend and next week to implement it properly. But I believe that it is doable to get done relatively soon Work-in-progress screenshot  |
